RE: NLSP adjacency encapsulation failure on Token ring

I have just read CCO usage guide lines on internal network number. It makes
it quite clear that for NLSP to work, you have to use an internal network
number.

I'll probably get flamed anyway, but this is to acknowledge I was being
daft.

Usage Guidelines
An internal network number is a network number assigned to the router. This
network number must be unique within the internetwork.
You must configure an internal network number on each device on an
NLSP-capable network for NLSP to operate.
When you set an internal network number, the Cisco IOS software advertises
the specified network out all interfaces. It accepts packets destined to
that network at the address internal-network.0000.0000.0001.
